when I power my light down for a few minutes they lose the time and program, anyone else get this?

Mine keeps the time and program. Inside the controller I pretty sure there is a battery, might be bad/dead? I opened mine when I got it because the display was falling out.

I finally sat down and set up my initial light parameters on my 90g tank. I have the 48 inch 4 bulb, 3led unit. I used the preset as a start and then lowered the led down to 20% with the intention of titrating up over the next month or two. It took a little time to figure out the program, but making adjustments and then running the day cycle to see if it looked was helpful. Will report back as I play around more with it...

Does anybody know were to find info, on how to adjust the lights using the software.
I've downloaded the software on from Ati North America but not instructions.

 

[rorroreef]

Having same problem here. You would think with lights so expensive, they would include instructions on software management.

The software was a bit intimidating at first, but once you start manipulating it, it's very intuitive. My only issue, and wondering if anyone else has this issue, my LEDS will flash brightly during the transition to day brightness.

Also, on the product description it talks about cloud sweeps, thunderstorms, and moon cycles is there a preset for this? My guess was you'd need to change the time interval and just manually move the leds from bright to low--seems pretty tedious. It would be great to see a preset that you could just layer over certain times or put on random.

And last, once you get used to having wireless control of your equipment with the APEX, it is a little disappointing you can't control the light this way.
Other than the wish list, the light is amazing and the software--once you are used to it--works great. My tank is newly setup and only has fish in it currently so I cant speak to coral reaction/growth.

Anyone care to share their program and bulb combination?

 

[Riblet]

So why doesn't ATI make an iPad app interface for this, seems like that would be a much better option then having to cable a computer to your light every time you want to make a change. An AI Director type setup should be easy enough, just saying for the cost of the fixture they should have an option like this.

Any updates and new photos? I am really considering this fixture.

 

[adamwheel]

60" model

60" model

I'm buying the 60" 8 bulb if it ever becomes available here in the U.S.

Anyone have insight on release date?

 

[Myka]

OK so took out the PAR meter and here are the results.

First number is T5+LED, (Number in brackets is LED only @ 100%)

I can't see this photo...it says you need more bandwidth Rodneyri! Anyone have a different link? Seeing as I can't see the photo, I'm not sure if it says or not...but which model is the fixture?

 

[rodneyri]

Too many ppl looking at my photos

My light is the 8x54 + 3 led, got an email I can send you the pic

 

[loweryster]

Rodneyri - I have the same light but 24". Running 5+, 2 ABS and a P+. I'm having a hard time finding the right combo between LED and T5. I just ordered 2 C+, 1 P+, 1 KZ new gen and 1 GE 6500. I'm hoping with all this I can find a sweet spot. What are you running or plan to run?

 

[rodneyri]

I run B NG B A LED P B NG B, I adjust the LED to ge the color I like.

What don't you like about your current combo?

 

[loweryster]

Washed out and bla.

would love to see FTS with these new lights. I see a lot of reviews online but not too many people posting pictures.

Here is mine, just mounted my lights. Unfortunately my tank is still empty, finishing my build.

Mark that looks amazing!!! I am in the planning stages again for a large tank and I am thinking about putting these over a 96x36x? build. I am also thinking about having Elos build my tank. Do you have a build thread I could follow to see your progress?
